parking tickets...... again.....

[apeebles]

I received a parking ticket on Sat evening for overstaying my ticket. However a couple of things which I wanted to check.

1. The notice was issued before my ticket had expired and then someone handwrote a new time in.
2. There was no street lighting so I could just make out that it was 90p an hour and put £2 in. Unfortunately they only allowed parking for 1 hour.

I have appealed but the whole thing has pissed me off as I attended a remembrance concert at the Cathedral and the car park I normally park in (council - and I pay a small fortune for a pass) was closed for health and safety grounds.

Any grounds for an appeal?

AFAIK all tickets have to be printed as this is their proof of wwhen issued!!

Private car park or council car park?

I was parked on the road in a marked bay and what's annoying is I wasn't trying to dodge a ticket!
